This woman decided to pull a prank and run around Burlington Coat Factory in Ohio lying to everybody. The loony lady was saying she won the Lotto and was going to pay everyone’s tab:

A Central Ohio woman created a panic and mess Tuesday after telling everyone in a store that she just won the lottery and was going to give the money away. The woman had called to get a limousine to pick her up at her apartment and drive her around, stopping at the Burlington Coat Factory on East Main Street. The woman told everyone in the store that she was going to pay for all of their purchases.

People started talking and soon, there were hundreds of people in the store and even more outside, assuming the woman was going to pay for their items. Officers were called to disperse the crowd. Police discovered that the incident was a hoax. The woman didn’t win the lottery. She was arrested and could be charged with inducing panic and possibly fraud.

SMH@ people loading up their shopping carts and thinking she was going to take care of the bill.

    @Nique

    You know any mall with Burlington is not upscale…she’s so mean for tricking them…but I STILL can’t help laughing. Can you imagine how she broke the news? Did she gather everyone and spill the beans? Did she tell them individually? And why did she have a Hummer limo? LMAO! So many important questions…

  • HoneySuckleGirl (KEEP ME NEAR THE CROSS….LOL)

    LMAO!!!!! This is too funny. WTF??? Can you imagine people racing to the register with shopping carts full of stuff, thinking its a early Christmas. Ppl were probably saying “I can get this for my mother, Pookie, and Aunt Peaches” LMAO

    SO….DID SHE PAY FOR THE LIMO IS MY QUESTION.

  • http://www.yahoo.com Re

    Shopper Candace Jordan said she told Brown she didn’t need clothes, she needed help paying her rent.

    “And she said, ‘How much is it?’” Jordan told WBNS-TV. “And she promptly wrote out a check.”

    She will definetly go down in the Ohio History Books 4 this one!

  • I’m Just Me: Keeping It Real Since 1983

    The daughter explained that her mother is mentally ill and off her meds. When she is off her meds she does elaborate stuff like this that usually results in chaos

    **********************************************************

    WOW!! Good thing this wasn’t the social service office. She would have caught a nice one to the face telling people she is buying them food with her stamps, this month!

  • AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWSHADDAAAAP!!!!!!

    Okay, that story about the woman having a check written out to pay her rent put me over the edge. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!

    Damn, could the woman pulling the prank even afford the limo? Wasn’t that a stretch Cadillac? AHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! Whooo, lawd.

  • AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWSHADDAAAAP!!!!!!

    This reminds me of the time my mother and aunt visited Jamaica. They went to the local bar to buy their two old uncles glasses of white rum. Man – you looked around and their uncles’ friends and their friends and their friends’ friends mobbed that shit.

    @ Uncle Rukus

    Oh Shut up! We are just on here having a good time. So what I got my child some items from Burlington. I paid for them with my hard earned money. I don’t take and have never taken a handout. Why don’t you worry about the scams you are pulling on people. Yeah I got that email about from an African Prince and if I send you this much I will get this much back. Why don’t you get your shyt together.

  • Fab.

    The fact that this happened at a Burlington makes it ten times more hilarious. It just wouldn’t be as funny if it had happened at Macy’s LOL

  • sassalene

    This was no reason to arrest her. It was stupid for her to tell eveyrone she would pay for their things but who told them to go ballistic? And unless she was oprah I would not have even trusted her and would have just continued with what I was doing.

  • Unkle Ruckus

    @shortdawg. Then why did you make such an asinine statement about the 1st Amendment? People that went to school know you can’t make statement they may incite chaos and hide behind free speech. Besides, greedy folks got what they deserved.
